Congratulations!!!

My only advice (were I to give any) would be to avoid What to Expect. I hate that book. Misinformation, fear tactics...yuck. But I won't give advice, because it's annoying and all the advice you get will be conflicting, and you'll end up doing whatever you want anyways and making lots of mistakes that you can learn from and then tell others how not to repeat in the form of friendly advice when they're pregnant. So, I'll just say, enjoy your pregnancy.

Huh. I wonder if it's changed in the last 13 years. We found it to be informative without all the fear tactics we were getting from everyone else....

Perhaps it was a different book, but I recall that this one seemed to follow the trail of "Here's what can go horribly wrong this week" or "at this point, here's what permanent damage you can do to your child"
